Gravity GRID stem


THE GRID HAS been built for strength – it’s 3D forged for extra durability before being CNC machined – so its mid-pack weight came as somewhat of a surprise. Gravity use 4mm Allen bolts throughout, but deep bolt heads help prevent rounding.

The recommended torque setting is a healthy 6Nm, which holds everything in place pretty well, although we did find the stem will twist on the steerer if given a big knock. The bar clamp’s two top bolts are done up all the way first, which takes the guesswork out of clamping the bar evenly. Bar roll can still be adjusted before the bottom bolts are torqued up. The 40mm stack height gives plenty of stiffness on the steerer, while the six-degree rise adds bar height options.
